Investigation on the Influence of Different Coating Surfaces on the Adhesive Force of Hydrate Particles

In the process of oil and gas extraction and transportation, the aggregation and deposition of hydrate particles within oil and gas pipelines is a primary cause of pipeline blockage, with adhesion being the fundamental cause of hydrate particle aggregation. With the development of crude oil and natu...

description In the process of oil and gas extraction and transportation, the aggregation and deposition of hydrate particles within oil and gas pipelines is a primary cause of pipeline blockage, with adhesion being the fundamental cause of hydrate particle aggregation. With the development of crude oil and natural gas transportation technology, the application of pipeline internal coating technology is becoming increasingly widespread. It is essential to compare the physical properties and practicality of various coating materials and conduct preliminary screening. Adhesion experiments on coating materials suitable for the conditions of oil and gas pipeline transport have been conducted. The experimental results indicate that the PTFE/PPS composite coating has advantages in reducing the adhesive force of hydrate particles under low temperatures and different degrees of subcooling. As the degree of subcooling increases, the adhesive force between the hydrate particles and the PTFE/PPS composite coating substrate gradually increases from 8.36 mN·m<sup>−1</sup> to 10.26 mN·m<sup>−1</sup>. With a 3 °C increase in subcooling, the adhesion force increases by 1.92 mN·m<sup>−1</sup>, which is about 68% lower on average compared to an uncoated substrate. Epoxy resin E-51 coatings and polyurea coatings also demonstrate certain anti-hydrate adhesion properties, but their performance is slightly inferior compared to the PTFE/PPS composite coating. These research results can provide an important reference for hydrate prevention technology in oil and gas transportation pipelines.
